Thenmavin Kombathu is a Malayalam movie released in 1994 directed and written by Priyadarshan and featuring Mohanlal, Shobana, Nedumudi Venu, Sreenivasan. K.V Anand and Sabu Cyril won the National Film Award for Best Cinematography and Art Direction respectively for their work in the film. Music directors Berny-Ignatius bagged the Kerala State Film Award for best music.

Frontier melodrama about Kerala's Thazavad manorial system which is based on matrilineal Kinship. Sreekrishnan (Nedumudi Venu), the brother of the Madambipura House's leader, Yashoda, is extremely friendly with his servant Manikyan (Mohanlal). Another servant, Appakala, envious of Manikyan's favoured status, is the film's official villain. The Madambipura House is locked in an ancestral rivalry with the equally large establishment run by Ganjimuda Gandhari, which usually finds expression in the bullock cart race at the annual pongal festival.

Both Sreekrishnan and Manikyan fall in love with the beautiful itinerant theatre actress Karthambi (Shobhana), causing Manikyan to briefly fall out of favour with both Yashoda and the local law. The film's camerawork adopts the glossy style (diffusers and angled lighting calibrated to the exposure of high-speed colour stock) made fashionable by Tamil cinematographer K. Anand. Shot mostly at dawn and dusk, the camerawork creates a glittering fantasy world than in turn detemines both plot and performances.
